Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is quite stable with SAP. It's nice. I use it extensively.""This solution is very helpful to me. I use it to execute my use cases without a manual interface."

"We do a lot of web services testing and REST services testing. That is the focus of this product.""Since the solution has both command line and automation options, it generates good reports.""Automatic testing is the most valuable feature.""We can automate our scenarios in a data driven format, which shows there is no rework on scripts. We only need to update the test data and run for a number of scenarios.""Generating new messages, based on the existing .EDN and .XML messages, is a crucial part or the testing project that I’m currently in.""We have seen a return on investment.""If you want something that’s not provided out of the box, then you can write it yourself and integrate it with SOAtest.""The solution is scalable."

Cons
"The solution shouldn't be so tightly integrated with the ALM tool that they have. It should have its own base rather than the repository.""There's only one thing that I think needs improvement. When I started off using this solution, I used the Google search engine to learn how to use the tool. I would also check with my colleagues who have a lot of knowledge about it. Selenium has fields of information available. If you click on that field there will be an explanation about how to use the tool. It will be very easier to understand it if Micro Focus included this feature. It is easy to find with the search button, but it would be a great help to the users who are new to this tool."

More OpenText Business Processing Testing Cons →

"The summary reports could be improved.""Reports could be customized and more descriptive according to the user's or company's requirements.""Tuning the tool takes time because it gives quite a long list of warnings.""UI testing should be more in-depth.""The performance could be a bit better.""The product is very slow to start up, and that is a bit of a problem, actually.""Enabling/disabling an optional element of an XML request is only possible if a data source (e.g., Excel sheet) is connected to the test. Otherwise, the option is not available at all in the drop-down menu.""Parasoft SOAtest has an internal refresh function where you can refresh the software to show the changes you’ve made in your projects. Unfortunately this function does not work properly, because it often does not show the changes after you’ve hit te refresh button a few times."

    Overview

    OpenText Business Processing Testing (BPT) test framework software will help you move from one-off manual testing and ad hoc functional automated testing to an architected approach with a library of reusable test components. BPT accelerates the move to component-based testing with an integrated test framework approach to creating a repository of reusable test modules that allow for changes to be made once, then propagated across your distributed agile teams to all affected tests.

    Parasoft SOAtest delivers fully integrated API and web service testing capabilities that automate end-to-end functional API testing. Streamline automated testing with advanced codeless test creation for applications with multiple interfaces (REST & SOAP APIs, microservices, databases, and more).

    SOAtest reduces the risk of security breaches and performance outages by transforming functional testing artifacts into security and load equivalents. Such reuse, along with continuous monitoring of APIs for change, allows faster and more efficient testing.
